The 6-foot-2, 200-pound senior shortstop posted a .446 batting average with eight home runs and 39 runs scored this past season, leading the Little Muskies (8-16) to the Division II sectional semifinals. Emerson also banged out 12 doubles, drew 21 walks and stole 26 bases while posting a .594 on-base percentage and a 1.013 slugging percentage. A member of the USA Baseball Under-18 National Team that won a gold medal at the 2022 World Baseball Championships, he was also a 2023 Perfect Game First Team Preseason All-American selection.
Emerson has maintained a 3.62 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a national letter of intent to play baseball on scholarship at Auburn University this fall, but is projected as an early round selection in July’s Major League Baseball draft.
A member of the John Glenn High yearbook staff, Emerson has volunteered locally as a Big Brothers Big Sisters lunch buddy, and he has donated his time with the Miracle League, a baseball community for children with intellectual and physical challenges.
